Some really great solutions for hands on science!!

[Cult of Pedagogy @cultofpedagogy]

Science teachers: Please share solutions you have come up with or heard about for doing LABS under current conditions. If students are accessing school virtually or in a class with no sharing, how do you replicate the hands-on labs you used to do?

What happens when you ask 50 educators what their favorite web tools & apps are? You get the 250 page "Epic Ebook of Web Tools & Apps," a free crowdsourced guide by educators for educators!

Really great ideas for leading collaborative work in break out rooms. Check out this thread!

[Isabel Morales, EdD @isabeljmorales]

Middle School teachers: How did you design collaborative online experiences for your Ss?

If you successfully used breakout groups, what did you do to ensure respectful and accountable participation?

[ericca v @ericcav]

Great opportunity to solve some REAL world problems! Just maybe, your design will be used by our great National Parks. @STEAMatHP

[ericca v @ericcav]

What a great set of resources! Thank you!

Another fresh batch of activities is up at my site:

These are "Finish the Comic!" Comics, in which kids are tasked with using inferencing skills and their imaginations to complete incomplete comics.

I plan to post more new activities every day or two.

Great news! Thank you @MysterySci

To help with school closures, we went through all our elementary science lessons, pulled the easiest ones to do from home, and put them all up for free to make it easy. No signup required, no student login—we hope this helps! https://t.co/kWmzrOnjpZ

Great job @BradfieldBold Your science fair projects were some of the best I’ve ever seen!

HP students participated in the Destination Imagination tournament on Saturday with multiple teams placing in the top 3 with an advancement to State! They have worked hard and deserve to celebrate!@hpisdschools @STEAMatHP @STEAMatHP @MISHPISD @BradfieldBold @UpPanthers

I've been late to work. I've forgotten my keys and laptop at home. NOT ONCE WAS MY PAY DEDUCTED. So can we please stop using points like they are currency??

[Laura Stager @stagerscience]

Students honed their engineering skills as they worked together to design cars from specific supplies. The challenge is to design a car that rolls the furthest yet is cost effective. They shopped Mad Mary’s Mobile Mart for supplies. Competition is Friday. #agnew @MISHPISD

[STEAM at HP @STEAMatHP]

Tapetum was the word of the day in @EGreenTeach classroom today! These kids learned about the cow’s eye and some major differences (and similarities!) between theirs and ours! @MISHPISD

[ericca v @ericcav]

@MISHPISD teachers had such great ideas for using @DoInkTweets in their classrooms. Their students are so lucky to have such INNOVATIVE teachers! @STEAMatHP

[Laura Stager @stagerscience]

Green screen consultation station is now open for business! @MISHPISD @ericcav

[STEAM at HP @STEAMatHP]

Who remembers “Let’s make a deal?!” 5th grade math was doing their own version today! Great motivation to do great math! @mathwithmswhite @MISHPISD

[james jenkins @jenkinsartclass]

We designed and created 3D printed Co2 Dragsters in Tech Applications and raced them today. Here is a sneak peek of one of the races. More to come soon. @hpisdschools @MISHPMSNEWS @STEAMatHP @hpmsraiders

[Laura Stager @stagerscience]

Engineering and creativity at work in the science classroom as students design working circuits with switches with lights coupled with homemade arcade games and Rube Goldberg contraptions! @MISHPISD @STEAMatHP @ericcav

[Laura Stager @stagerscience]

Future engineers at work! @MISHPISD @STEAMatHP @ericcav

I love this: "we do learn more when we're confused and we've got to work our way out of it" #productivestruggle https://t.co/piiTFZOtkl

Really great engineering and problem solving today. Thanks for letting me have a front row seat! @STEAMatHP @MISHPISD

[Tim Caffee, M.Ed. @CaffeeMath]

In honor of National STEAM Day, we celebrated with The Great Pumpkin Stand Challenge.

[ericca v @ericcav]

Engineering pumpkin stands in science and creating digital breakouts in math! What a day! These kids are celebrating National Steam Day a little early!
